You are viewing a wonderful bronze casting depicting a horse being held by the reins by a young boy. The piece is signed J Daste on the base - please see close up picture. We are certain this is some representation of a classical myth or perhaps a biblical scene but haven't been able to exactly pinpoint what it is. Any erudites out there are free to email in their pointers.

What we do know is the piece is offered in perfect condition ready for home use right away. The patina to the bronze has a lovely dark nutty brown finish to it.

Being bronze this will last forever without rusting and hence is a great investment as it will always appreciate in value. Aside from being aesthetically pleasing and nice to look at they can also become heirlooms.

Bronze is any of several alloys consisting mainly of copper and tin. Neither ancient nor modern bronzes consist only of these two metals. Zinc, lead, and silver were added to bronze alloys by Greek and Roman founders for use in tools, weapons, coins, and objects of art. Zinc, lead, and other metals are occasionally present in modern bronze.
